What Marillion have developed during the recording of "Less Is More" is a real Pop avant-garde experiment: to deconstruct and reconstruct the songs, starting only from the melodies and redesigning chord sequences, arrangements and acoustic instrumentation to create a rich-yet-minimalist alternative form of their music. "Live At Cadogan Hall" is the last night of the amazing "Less Is More" acoustic tour recorded on 7th of December 2009. The venue, the audience and the performance made the night unique. The set is divided in two parts, the fi rst completely dedicated to "Less is More", played from start to fi nish. The second, as long as a full show, is another set of Marillion classics reinvented with the same spirit. The fantastic live show recorded in stunning 'High Defi nition' by 9 cameras will be available in three different formats. While the 2CD and 2DVD packages consists of the full live show "Live From Cadogan Hall", the Blu-ray features the full concert in 96kHz 24bit High Res. audio in either Stereo or 5.1 surround options plus the full version of the "Less is More" studio album as well as the complete fi rst series of Racket Television in High Defi nition & unreleased versions of tracks from the "Less is More" acoustic recordings. An unreleased song, left out of "Less is More" is also another gem for the hard-core fans. "Live At Cadogan Hall" will leave nothing to be desired and needs to be part of every high class music collection. Watch this and you will be breathless. Marillion is like a drug...once you saw them, you need more and more and more and you will get more...during 2011. Watch out for this! Probably the best live video by Marillion ever.
